Lebanon police are searching for a man they have identified as a suspect in last week's shooting on North Ninth Street.

Quentin Gillette, 30, who was last known to be living in Annville, is accused of shooting 20-year-old Jose Luzon in the face while committing a home-invasion robbery at 434 N. Ninth St. at 5 p.m. Friday, police said Monday. Several other people were inside the house, but no other injuries were reported.

When officers arrived at the shooting scene, they found Luzon in a second-floor apartment with a gunshot wound to his face. The gunman fled before police arrived.

Luzon was rushed by ambulance to the Hershey Medical Center. He was recovering at the hospital, police said Monday, but his exact condition was not known.

Meanwhile, Gillette is still on the loose. He has been charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault and robbery, police said.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call city police at 717-272-6758 or Lebanon County Crime Stoppers at 717-270-9800. Calls can be kept confidential.

According to court records, Gillette has a long criminal history that includes convictions for theft and aggravated assault. He was most recently charged in November for stealing an electric toothbrush from Walmart in North Londonderry Square, according to Daily News records.
